Where to find guidance

A variety of sources are available which provide useful information on the changes.

The EU GDPR portal

The European Commission has released a new website with extensive guidance on GDPR implementation for just about every stakeholder, including: infographics, explainer documents, a guide to GDPR enforcement, and general FAQ-style information that is part of a larger effort by the EU Commission to educate the entire EU about the looming GDPR.

In total, the Commission has earmarked 1.7 million euros to help fund data protection authorities and train data protection professionals, as well as another 2 million euros for member state-level information campaigns, particularly targeted at small businesses.
